railroads do not labor under the i'm
preston that you are buying pig in a
poke, or ticket in the Louisiana lot

THERE was a suggestive scene wit
messed in the Ohio senate recently

ored man, with snow-white hair, was
requested 10y the lieutenant governor
to open the senate with prayer. He
assembled the steps to the platform oc-
cupied by the president of the senate,
and lifted his black hands in suppli-
cation. All of the senators rose and
bowed their heads to receive the bless
ing invoked by the eloquent voice of
the man of color. The democratic
senator's were among those in this
reverent attitude, and the contrast
between these and former times
appeared most striking. 1t is not
twenty years since the Ohio legisla-
ture, then strongly democratic, passed
the famous and infamous visible adj
mixture act, prohibiting white man
with a visible admixture of colored
blood in his veins, from exercising the
right of suffrage. And short time
before that the same squeamish gen.
tlemen were proclaiming that thenegro
was species of monkey, and foreor-
dained from the beginning to be SER
want of che Caucasian race. Now a
member of the formerly despised race
is honored with the attention and re-
spect of the highest legislative body in
the state, and democratic heads are as
ready as any to receive the benediction
invoked at his hands. Verify the world

Because it is their natural right.
Because this is a government of
the people, and they are the people. /.
Because all just laws derive their
power from the consent of the gov
erned, and women are governed.
Because taxation without represent
alton is tyranny, and women are taxed.
Because the legislature has made it
their duty.
Because they can do good by voting,
Because it is crime not to vote.
Because your vote will help to purify
politics.
